NYPD and Google

March 13, 2019 By Meghan Sackman

The police are searching for a man who allegedly bit off a portion of a security guard’s finger after he was denied entry into a Jackson Heights bar last month. 

The security guard, 37, was closing down El California Sports Bar, located at 76-03 Roosevelt Ave., on Feb. 16 when the suspect approached and asked to go into the bar around 4:05 a.m.

Police say when the guard told the individual that the bar was closed the suspect became enraged and began to argue..

The argument turned physical when the unidentified man bit off part of the guard’s left pinky finger. The suspect then ran eastward on Roosevelt Avenue.

EMS transported the security guard to Bellevue Hospital where his finger was reattached before he was sent home.

The alleged attacker is described by police as white or Hispanic, medium build, with dark close cut hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, black boots and a black jacket with Japanese iconography inscribed throughout.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-8477, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

he overstayed his visa?

>he had stayed in the country “longer than his legal authorization permitted.”

So the Wall, that the Trump Shutdown was supposed to get us, wouldn’t have done ANYTHING about this illegal immigrant? Got it.

“described by police as white or Hispanic”

Is there any indication that this man was an illegal immigrant, or you’re just your run-of-the-mill Trump-loving racist?

Let’s see. Jackson Heights – Hispanic Bar. You do the math. Because someone points that out, that person is a Trump supporter. Only a simpleton would think that way. You don’t exactly come across as the sharpest knife in the drawer

logic is hard

So just to be clear, no indication he was an illegal immigrant?

Just speculation he MIGHT have been hispanic?

Do you think any hisplanics in Queens aren’t illegal immigrants?

Wow no one commented on this story? Really? So some guy bites off part of a hard working security guard’s finger and no one cares? This is crazy to me. I hope this attacker gets caught and goes to jail for many years.

No I am not a moderator and I do have a job thanks for your concern. I just get surprised how no matter what the story is in this website whether it’s a pervert on the 7 train, a traffic accident, or overcrowded public transportation the comments always lead to trump or illegal immigrants. That’s all anyone ever talks about no matter what the story is.

City Council passes bill shifting broker fee burden to landlords, sparking backlash from real estate industry and key critics

The New York City Council passed a landmark bill on Wednesday, aiming to relieve renters of paying hefty broker fees — a cost that will now fall on the party who hires the listing agent.
